Social Christian Reformist Party

The Social Christian Reformist Party (PRSC) is a Christian democratic and conservative political party in the Dominican Republic that was founded on 21 July 1984. Some of the party's founders were originally business leaders and Catholics who opposed the communist, democratic socialist, and social democratic tendencies of Juan Bosch of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) and Dominican Liberation Party (PLD). Founders of the party were opposed to Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship, with its founders returning to the Dominican Republic from exile to found the PRSC. Following the death of the party's main leader Joaquin Balaguer in 2002, the PRSC declined rapidly, and, after the mid-2000s, it was relegated to being a junior partner of either the PRD or PLD.
